In research, a technology that had attracted the interest of researchers decades ago and stayed at that level for a long time, may suddenly come into focus. This is the case of the collection of different technologies called Artificial Intelligence (AI). Although this moniker might suggest that machines are able to replicate the main human trait, in practice such techniques boil down to algorithmically sophisticated pattern matching enabled by training on large collections of input data.  Embedded today in a…

Geneva, Switzerland – 22 December 2021. Today the Moving Picture, Audio and Data Coding by Artificial Intelligence (MPAI) standards developing organisation has concluded the year 2022, its first full year of operation approving its fifth standard for publication. The standards developed and published by MPAI so far are: Context-based Audio Enhancement (MPAI-CAE) – approved today – supports 4 identified use cases: adding a desired emotion to an emotion-less speech segment, preserving old audio tapes, restoring audio segments and improving the audio…

MPAI has published a book titled Towards Pervasive and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence: How standards can put a great technology at the service of humankind With the printing industry sparing no efforts publishing books on Artificial Intelligence (AI), why should there be another that, in its title and subtitle, combines the overused words “AI” and “trustworthy”, with the alien words “standards” and “pervasive”? The answer is that the book describes a solution that covers all the elements of the title: to…

Building on the successful development of 5 major AI-based data coding standards 15 months after coming into life, MPAI has published the book “Towards Pervasive and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence: How standards can put a great technology at the service of humankind". For the authors, representatives of the articulated MPAI world, it has been quite an effort but rewarded by the sight of the published book. In its 110 B5 pages the book offers: A summary of the reasons that have…

Are there serious reasons to be part of the Moving Picture, Audio and Data Coding by Artificial Intelligence? The latest is the fact that, starting from the 20th of November 2021, a legal entity or a representative of an academic department who are able to contribute to the the development of Technical Specifications can join MPAI now and have their membership extended until the end of 2022. This, however, is more an opportunity to accelerate the decision to joinMPAI, because…

MPAI – the international AI-based data coding standards developing organisation – has published an epoch-marking AI-based standard called MPAI-CUI (Compression and Understanding of Industrial Data) that allows the assessment of a company from its financial, governance and risk data. An implementation of the standard is composed of several modules pre-processing the input data. A fourth module – called Prediction – is a neural network that has been trained with a large amount of company data of the same type as…
